Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai are the three Indian cities to be listed in &#8220;The Next Decade&#8217;s Fastest Growing Cities&#8217; list. <\/p>\n<p>Forbes Report says:<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nIndia, although not by plan, also is experiencing a boom in once relatively obscure cities. Its rising urban centers include Bangalore (home of Infosys and Wipro), Ahmedabad (whose per-capita incomes are twice that of the rest of India) and Chennai (which has created 100,000 jobs this year). <\/p>\n<p>Ahmedabad is the largest metropolitan region in Gujarat, perhaps the most market-oriented and business-friendly of Indian states. Gujarat&#8217;s policies helped lure away the new Tata Nano plant from West Bengal (Kolkata) to Sanand, one of Gurajat&#8217;s exurbs. One Indian academic, Sedha Menon, compares the state&#8211;which has developed infrastructure more quickly than its domestic rivals&#8211;with Singapore and parts of Malaysia. Per-capita incomes in Gujarat are more than twice the national average. India&#8217;s seventh-largest city has a population of roughly 5.7 million and is expected, according to the U.N., to grow to over 7.6 million by 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the frequently asked questions to us at Infostretch is : Why did choose Ahmedabad for such a wonderful business? I hope we have an satisfactory answer !<\/p>\n<p>InfoStretch chose Ahmedabad because we realized it was a growing city. The GenNext talent was improving and they are catching up with the global talent. The Infrastructure like Power, Roads, Connectivity was phenomenal. We have zero power cuts &#8211; unheard in India ! The overall business environment and outlook looked positive. We have grown from 20 people company to 160 people company and still growing ! It is indeed Vibrant Gujarat !<\/p>\n<p>Cheers Ahmedabad !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forbes Magazine has listed Ahmedabad as one of the fastest growing cities.
